~Chapter Eight~

Yahiko sighed. "Uhhh. . . Kenshin?"

"Yes?"

Yahiko moved around in his chair uncomfortably and loosened his neck tie. "I'm not sure about this. . ." he started to say.

Kenshin sighed, nearly rolled his eyes and turned to look over at Yahiko who was wearing a black tux. "Really Yahiko, what's to be unsure of? You love a woman, she loves you, you want to get married, she agrees, end of story. . . or at least until the kids come. . ."

Yahiko's eyes widened. "Whoever said anything about kids?!?!?!?" he cried.

Kenshin had a stern face as he put a hand on Yahiko's shoulders. "You love Tsubame, don't you?"

Yahiko nodded weakly.

Kenshin smiled and took his hand away, "Good! You're getting married in ten minutes."

Yahiko groaned. "I don't know if I'm ready for that kind of commitment.

Kenshin grumbled under his breath, "Ohhh. . . believe me. . . it's a commitment. . ." Kenshin wasn't feeling in a very good mood today, after what had happened with Kenji.

Yahiko sighed once more, "I. . . I know I love Tsubame. . . and I know I want to get married. . . but. . . but. . ."

Kenshin straightened his tie. "Look Yahiko. You're twenty-five years old. You're ready for commitment."

Yahiko smiled, weakly, "You really think so?"

Kenshin smiled back, "Of course! You're Yahiko Miogi, the best swordsman there ever was!"

Yahiko frowned, "I remember saying that all the time when I was just a little kid. . ." then his face went dreamy, "And I also remember when I first met Tsubame!"

Sanosuke walked into the room. "Yah. . . I remember that!!! I dressed you up as a flower girl!" he snickered.

Yahiko glared daggers at Sanosuke. "Hey, you're the one who told the kid to punch the priest!"

Sanosuke frowned, "And you're the one who taught the kid that sword technique to hit me on the head with!!!"

The growled at each other, until Kenji walked into the room. Yahiko and Sanosuke smiled, "Uhhh . . . Hi there Kenji. . . looking good. . ."

Kenji raised an eyebrow at them, and then turned to his father. "Mom said the ceremony is going to start soon."

Kenshin nodded.

Yahiko started to sweat. "I still don't know you guys. It's like there's this butterfly in my stomach and it's trying to get out. . ."

Sanosuke grumbled, "Don't let the stupid butterfly out Yahiko. . . least not on me. . ." he watched as Yahiko ran to the bathroom and threw up. "Oh brother. . ."

Kenshin smiled. "This reminds me of my own wedding!" he said, with great remembrance.

Kenji smiled, "Tell me about it Dad. You haven't talked about it much of recent. . . I wasn't there, was I? No, no that's not possible. Mom had me after you got married to her. If I was there, which isn't likely, I don't remember."

Kenshin shook his head, "No. No Kenji you weren't there." He pointed to the chair next to him. Kenji sat down. Kenshin put one hand on his knee. "Well, you see, your mother and I had met by job. I was a young . . . lawyer" he thought up as he went, "And your mother. . . a young teacher. There was a murder at her school, and everybody thought she was the killer. Turns out she was innocent. That's how we met. Then we. . . got to know each other, fell in love and. . . got married! Then had you! And now your mother is pregnant again . . ."

Kenji nodded. 'I don't feel like that was the truth. . . that couldn't possibly be the truth. . .' there was a knock at the door.

"KENSHIN! KENJI! SANOSUKE! YAHIKO! GET YOUR BUTTS OUT HERE! THE WEDDING IS STARTING!!!" shouted the angry voice of none other then Kaoru. Even when pregnant she had a temper. But you know what they say, Momma Bears are very very very very very mean sometimes. . .

Yahiko fixed his tie for the hundredth time. 'Well. . . here goes. . .'

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The wedding was over and Yahiko and Tsubame walked out of the church with smiling faces. They walked towards a car, just as Kenshin and Kaoru did fifteen years before. Yahiko turned around before getting in the car. "See you three months!!!" he shouted to everybody.

Everybody cheered. Kaoru was crying, and Sanosuke couldn't stop laughing. On the drive home, the Himura's were very quiet, except for Kaoru's random sniffling.

"Come on Mom, it wasn't that sad. . ."

"It was too! If you had known Yahiko as long as I have. . . How I've seen him grow from a ten year old to a twenty-five year old and happily get married. . ." Kaoru burst out into tears.

Kenshin, who was driving, stopped at the red light and turned around to face Kenji. He whispered, "Don't upset your mother. She gets VERY emotional when weddings occur, and if she's pregnant at the same time. . ." Kenshin whistled, turned back to the steering wheel, and kept driving.

Kenji held in his laughter. His father was acting much differently today, as well as yesterday. He was much more outgoing, said whatever he wanted to, was more romantic. . . Kenji would have snapped his fingers but he didn't want to attract attention. 'Maybe Dad has two side! Yah! One his. . . I'll call it, Rurouni side. . .and the other. . . Battousai side! This is the Battousai side, but still with enough Rurouni to not hurt anybody!!! . . . That is, if he truly is the Battousai. . .' Kenji thought to himself.

They pulled up at home. Kenji saw Kayami standing in front of the door. Kenji got out of the car and walked up to her. "Hey there Kayami how's it. . ." he saw her distressed look, "What's wrong?"

Kayami sniffed. She whispered, "Kenji, I have to talk to you somewhere private!"

Kenji nodded. He took her into the house, leaving behind a confused Kenshin and Kaoru, and went to his room, shut and locked the door. "What's on your mind?"

Kayami sniffed again. "My father told me some horrible news," she told him. "About . . . the Hitokiri Battousai."

Kenji's eyes widened. 'What does she know about the Battousai?' he had a gut wrenched feeling that this was not good.

Kayami held her breath, thinking, 'I'm sorry Kenji, but I have to do this to make Daddy happy. I wish I didn't have to but. . . It's got to be done!'

She said, "The one known as the Hitokiri Battousai is actually a man named. . . Kenshin Himura. He's a horrible villain! My father said that he overheard the Battousai talking to one of his friends, whose name is Sanosuke Sagara, talking about killing his only son!!!" she grabbed Kenji and hugged him, tears forming in her eyes. "Oh Kenji! The Battousai is your father! And he plans to kill you! You must run away with me! I can bring you to the safety of my house!"

Kenji didn't know what to say. 'Is this true? My father is really the Hitokiri Battousai? And he wants to. . . kill me?' he looked down at Kayami. 'She would never lie to me, I know her too well.' He looked up with determination in his eyes. 'I will run away, but only for a while. If this is all true, then instead of being killed. . . I'll kill him!!!'

Kenji looked back down at Kayami. "Yes. Yes I will go with you. Thank you."

Kayami let a tear escape from her eye. She smiled, "Oh good Kenji!!! I'm so glad! I didn't want you to die! I. . . I love you Kenji!"

Kenji smiled. "At least that one isn't as big a surprise as my father being the Battousai. . ."

Kayami giggled.

Kenji reached down to her chin and pressed his lips against her's. Kayami opened her eyes wide, but then slowly relaxed and closed them. She felt Kenji's tongue exploring her mouth, and touching her tongue.

What felt like eternity went by, and finally Kenji broke the kiss. He smiled, "I love you too Kayami, and I will go with you and stay at your house with your father."
